I am currently a student at DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois, United States. I am a political science major and I have a strong passion for saving and preserving history. On Wikipedia, I tend to add historical subsections for small towns in the United States. Although, I will add additional information to any page that I see is in need of support. In addition to my original publishings listed below.

The 1978–79 men's basketball team made it to the final four of the NCAA Championship for the second and last time in the school's history before being defeated by Larry Bird and #1 Indiana State.
